"So the question is whether the USB cable will transmit the 24/192 signal to the DAC?"
Yes it will, however it will be resampled by your DAC.
I highly recommend using JRiver Media Center and Kernel Streaming or WASAPI. Otherwise, you are hearing Core Audio nasties. Rip with dbpoweramp with Accurate-Rip enabled. foobar is pretty good with KS, but not as good as JMC.
